You know, it really does feel like a void has finally been filled. As peculiar as that sounds considering it’s just an inanimate object, but there is a feeling of relief or “finally!” I am definitely experiencing.
For carrying it, I think the DeSantis IWB Cozy Partner I picked up for it last night from Bass Pro will work nicely. It’s quality leather with good double stitching and a reinforced open top for fast draws and positive reholstering.
For OWB, gotta go with @Acmemfg expertise in holster leather, so I will be heavily looking into obtaining something from Andrew’s.
There is just something about an Andrew’s holster.
I do have ammo for it, mostly Gold Dots and a few boxes of HST’s. But I definitely need more FMJ. I am really wanting to run this gun, in a time when I should be counting my bullets and not out just running my gun.
This being conservative stuff is killing me.
@nortac, I won’t ever be carrying it in an Uncle Mike’s!

Rofl! Me too!
I believe and am hoping, this Springfield will be the closest to that.
Eventually, I will get a glossy, shiny and pretty full size 1911. Preferably of the Colt variety.
But I wanted my first 1911 to be carry ready for hard use. The Range Officer model is 4 inches either way in barrel and frame.
While it has a match grade trigger, stainless match grade fully supported bull barrel, extended safety lever, beaver tail and competition lock work.
I also like the plain, rugged flat black combat parkerizing of it’s finish, and the non ambidextrous safety and magazine release. It has all the high grade features for fast competition or combat, while keeping that plain, battle ready look of a basic G.I. 1911.
I really like it! It screams me!

Nor Kydex, I hope!
Only leather. I have a Mitch Rosen belt in black for the matching leather holster for my G43X. I need to get a couple of quality belts in tan and brown now.
So remember I said I wanted an Officer's Model? Well that foreshadowing Been waiting on this one for a while now. Gentlemen I give you the Nighthawk Counselor 9mm....
and with its biggest brother, the Agent 2...
3.5" barrel, 9mm, 8+1, heavy undercut so I can get my whole hand around it (no dangly pinky), super thin grip pannels, and they managed to get a full mag well in it without extending the grip length. Gonna be a great companion!

I like it!
Thank you, Rob! Oh, forgot one little tidbit. This one came with Hiene Slant Pro Straight 8 night sights. My first experience with them and I really dig the sight picture!

I picked up an FEG PJK-9HP today. Pics when I get home.

Here it is.
At some point I plan on replacing the grips with more traditional ones. These are nice, but the whole point of getting this one was to have a more traditional HP, with the ring hammer and small safety. Now I can leave my Browning Mk. III stock.

Man! That is sweet! Are my eyes playing tricks or is that pistol color case hardened? Love that!

Just tricks. What looks like color case hardening is oil smudges on the bluing. But the bluing has a nice worn look to it.
